Judge rejects Bankman-Fried's new trial request

A federal judge has denied Sam Bankman-Fried's plea for a new trial, dismissing his claims as "wildly conspiratorial." The former FTX CEO's legal team had sought to overturn his conviction, citing alleged prosecutorial misconduct and jury contamination. However, the judge found no merit in these arguments, reinforcing the original verdict. Bankman-Fried's legal battles continue as he awaits sentencing and potentially faces further appeals.
